Waza Miyabi was the main designer for the collection. His designs display simple patterns that bear an inspiration to ‘sho-chiku-bai’ which relates to ‘pine-bamboo-plum’ in Japanese. A Japanese artist hand painted the designs on each toilet.
The design carries the concept of displaying the four seasons in its patterns. Spring is signified by a tree with silver branches and colorful flowers, where as summer is represented by golden plum and bamboo ornamentation painted in 24-karat gold. The summer design is priced at $12,000, where as the other seasons are available for $10,000.
